Midland Metro Alliance

Our Midland Metro Alliance is expanding the tram network by approximately 32km and helping to enable social and economic regeneration across the region.

We are engaged with our Alliance and sub-Alliance partners to develop and deliver a £1.3bn programme of tram extensions across the West Midlands.

The Midland Metro Alliance is working with local business growth hubs, chambers of commerce and training academies to maximise the opportunities and long lasting benefit to the people of this area to deliver a legacy of social and economic regeneration.

This 10 year programme will create links with HS2, mainline railways and Birmingham airport to see a truly integrated transport solution and drive urban regeneration for the extended West Midlands region. Over this period the Midland Metro Alliance and our partners, working on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), will deliver a number of key projects that form the extension. Works include routes along Broad Street to Edgbaston, out to the Eastside of Birmingham along Digbeth High Street to Wolverhampton Railway Station and eventually to Brierley Hill and all the way out to Birmingham Airport in Solihull.
